DC Comics hardcover and trade paperbacks solicitations from June to August 2014

DC Comics (via their blog) have released a full list of their trade paperbacks and hardcovers being released from June 2014 through to August 2014.

Some of highlights include:

Batman: Arkham Asylum Living Hell Deluxe EditionHC, from Dan Slott and Ryan Sook. The 2003 miniseries introduced a number of characters, including Jane Doe (reintroduced to the New 52 in this month’s Detective Comics Annual #2)

Green Arrow by Kevin Smith Deluxe Edition HC: Collecting Kevin Smith’s 15-issue run on Green Arrow from 2001-2002, this is the first time all of Smith’s stories have been put together in a single volume. Along with resurrecting Oliver Queen into the pre-Flashpoint DCU, it introduced the character of Onomatopoeia in the “Sounds of Violence” story arc. The character would later feature in Smith’s Batman: Cacophony…and beyond.

Graphic Ink: The DC Comics Art of Frank Quitely HC: Frank Quitely is a god among artists, and if there isn’t something in the collection of his various tidbits from DC you can get into, then check your pulse, fools!

The next big omnibus (at 696 pages) is Brightest Day Omnibus, collecting #0 to #24 of that follow-up to Blackest Night. Some really beautiful tie-in stories came out of it too, all of which were swept aside by the New 52. Sigh.
